{"product_id":"brown-leather-geometric-tote","title":"Brown Leather Tote Bag with Geometric Panels","description":"\u003cp\u003eA brown leather tote bag usually plays it safe, and this one does not. Its maker, Kiko Leather, titles it the Cross Over Tote: brown leather pieced from angled panels stitched in straight lines across the front, coming to a point at the base, with a shoulder strap that runs through bronze-tone rings and an unlined inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngled leather panels.\u003c\/strong\u003e Layered pieces cross the front, so the bag reads as a design, not a plain carryall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket for the phone.\u003c\/strong\u003e An outside slip pocket keeps a smartphone in reach without opening the bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep front pocket.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunglasses or a notebook drop in between the layers of the front panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeather inside too.\u003c\/strong\u003e No fabric lining, so the inside shows the soft underside of the hide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrown Leather in Shifting Shades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown leather is the color that shows its life most gracefully, and on a pieced bag it does something a single hide cannot. \u003cstrong\u003eEach panel is cut at its own angle, so each one catches the light differently\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the front reads as several shades of the same brown. Over months of carrying, the panels your hand and hip touch most darken first, which deepens the pattern rather than wearing it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat variation also makes everyday marks harder to spot. A scratch on one panel sits among other tones instead of on a flat field of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnlined Leather and a Pointed Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 14.25 inches across and 15 tall to the point, the bag narrows toward the bottom, so a full load settles into the center and the tote hangs close against your side. \u003cstrong\u003eYour things gather in one place instead of spreading across a flat floor\u003c\/strong\u003e, which makes keys easy to find by feel. Two inside pockets hold the small items, and the outside phone and front pockets take what you reach for most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith no lining, an uncapped pen or a wet umbrella touches the leather directly. Cap pens and carry a small pouch for makeup, and the inside stays as good as the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling the Cross Over Tote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do brown leather bags go with?\u003c\/strong\u003e Denim, cream, white, olive, black and every shade of tan. The mixed browns on this front make it especially easy with blue jeans and with knits in oatmeal or camel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the pointed base stand on the floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e It leans rather than stands, so lay it on its side, set it on a chair or hang it from a hook by the strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are the rings on the strap?\u003c\/strong\u003e They break the long strap into sections and give the bag its hardware detail. Kiko describes them as bronze circle loops, and in the photos they sit where the strap meets each side of the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre brown leather totes popular year round?\u003c\/strong\u003e Searches stay steady through the year and rise in October, the month when a brown bag starts to look right with heavier fabrics and darker coats.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kiko Leather","offers":[{"title":"Brown","offer_id":68282492027181,"sku":"724_2","price":186.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/kiko-leather-brown-leather-geometric-tote-1.jpg?v=1794469479","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/brown-leather-geometric-tote","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
